Good Love
Rihwa with Michelle Branch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want it bad you almost feel the flame
You come unraveled and it just ain't funny
An uphill battle in a losing game
Around the corner there's a big train coming
And it might be your Christmas in the middle of July
Yeah you can almost hear that whistle blowing
Oh Good Love don't come easy
Yeah Good love can be so hard
But you stick it out, work it out, hit the ground running
And you don't give up until you find that good good love.
My mama told me that it's complicated
Anything worth having is worth fighting for
Said not to settle 'cause you'll wind up jaded
It'll leave you empty only wanting more
So pack your bags what are you waiting for?
Oh Good Love don't come easy
Yeah Good love can be so hard
but you stick it out, work it out, hit the ground running
and you don't give up until you find that good good love.
It's what everybody wants
What everybody needs
And even when it's bad, it's good
Good loving
It makes the world go 'round
It's looking for you now
So don't give up
I won't let you give up
Oh Good Love don't come easy
Yeah Good love can be so hard
but you stick it out, work it out, hit the ground running
and you don't give up until you find that good good love
